29 | | What can Lotus | | |
30 | | Map Do? | | Lotus Map links data in your worksheet to graphical |
31 | | | | representations of that data. Just as you would create a bar |
32 | | | | chart to illustrate a range of worksheet values, you can create |
33 | | | | a map that links data in a range to recognizable geographic |
34 | | | | regions such as states or countries. |
35 | | | | |
36 | | | | For more information, search on "Map overview" in Help and go |
37 | | | | to the "Mapping Overview" topic. |
38 | | | | |
39 | | Using Lotus Map | | |
40 | | | | To create a map, set up a range of map data, select the range, and |
41 | | | | then choose Tools Map New Map. |
42 | | | | |
43 | | | | For more information on creating maps, search on "Map overview" |
44 | | | | in Help and go to the "Creating a Map" topic. |
45 | | | | |
46 | | Map Display | | |
47 | | Resolution | | Maps can be created and displayed in two resolutions: regular and |
48 | | | | and high. By default, maps are displayed in regular resolution. |
49 | | | | Regular resolution is satisfactory for most monitors and printers |
50 | | | | when displaying maps in their default size. However, if you increase |
51 | | | | the size of a map, zoom a map, or print a map to fill a page, there |
52 | | | | may be a decrease in the quality of the resolution of the map. |
53 | | | | |
54 | | | | To maintain the quality of the resolution of the map when increasing |
55 | | | | the size, zooming, or printing a map to fill a page, you may want to |
56 | | | | switch to high resolution. For an example of a high-resolution map, |
57 | | | | see the map in the Pins sheet in this file. You can switch the map |
58 | | | | resolution by editing the 123R5.INI file. |
59 | | | | |
60 | | | | To switch to high resolution of maps |
61 | | | | |
62 | | | | 1. Quit 1-2-3. |
63 | | | | |
64 | | | | 2. Open the Windows Notepad. |
65 | | | | |
66 | | | | 3. Choose File Open. |
67 | | | | |
68 | | | | 4. Enter c:\windows\123r5.ini in the File Name text box and |
69 | | | | choose OK. |
70 | | | | |
71 | | | | 5. Under [MAPS], change the default setting from mapres=0 |
72 | | | | to mapres=1. |
73 | | | | |
74 | | | | 6. Choose File Save and then Exit. |
75 | | | | |
76 | | | | Maps can now be created and displayed in high resolution. |
77 | | | | |
78 | | | | What happens to existing maps when you switch from |
79 | | | | regular to high resolution? |
80 | | | | |
81 | | | | Existing maps will not automatically switch to high resolution. You need to |
82 | | | | redraw existing maps in order for them to display in high resolution. |
83 | | | | |
84 | | | | To redraw existing maps |
85 | | | | |
86 | | | | 1. Choose Tools Map Set Redraw Preference and select Manual. |
87 | | | | |
88 | | | | 2. Choose Tools Map Redraw. |
89 | | | | |
90 | | | | This will redraw all existing in maps in the current file in high resolution. |
91 | | | | |
92 | | | | Effects of creating and displaying maps in high resolution |
93 | | | | |
94 | | | | Creating and displaying maps in high resolution causes the |
95 | | | | following conditions: |
96 | | | | |
97 | | | | ░ More detailed display of maps on the screen |
98 | | | | |
99 | | | | ░ More detailed printout of maps |
100 | | | | |
101 | | | | ░ Longer time to draw and print maps |
102 | | | | |
103 | | | | ░ More space is taken up in the spreadsheet |
104 | | | | |
105 | | | | ░ More memory is required to create and display high resolution |
106 | | | | maps |
107 | | | | |
108 | | Note | | Lotus recommends that you have at least 8MB of random access |
109 | | | | memory (RAM) with a 16MB swap file before switching to high |
110 | | | | resolution. |
